MissM. L Brewster, Stottsville. Quebec, Canada. April, 20, 1895, 

 writes: I think your idea of (giving the number of seeds in a packet 

 a splendid one, and your seeds are sati-efactory in every way. My 

 Shirley Poppies last year were the admiration of every one who saw 

 them, and it was hard to believe that beautiful bed of flowers only 

 cost four cents.

Competition open to all my customers who purchase either an 8 cent

 1896, at 6 p. m., when the prizes will be immediately awarded the suc- 

 cessful competitors. All blossoms mu&t be carefully pressed and 

 mailed to me before this date, with the name and full address of 

 the sender on back of "Competition Envelope." which accompanies 

 each order. In ease there are several flowers received of exactly the 

 same size, Beauty and Markings of the flowers will take first place. 

 Heretofore, I have limited the number of prizes to ten. This season 

 I double the number, wh'ch ?ives ten more chances to premium 

 winners and T trust that every one of my pansy lovers will enter the 

 contest this season and break the record of 2^ inches i)y a blossom 

 measuring at least 3V2 i- ches acr'>.ss, which I am satisfied can be ac- 

 complished with a favorable season.
